The Importance of Sports Mouthguards

1

Dental Protection

Sports activities, even seemingly low-impact ones, can pose a risk to your teeth. A properly fitted mouthguard acts as a cushion, absorbing and dispersing impact forces that could otherwise result in broken or displaced teeth.

2

Prevention of Soft Tissue Injuries

Mouthguards not only protect your teeth but also reduce the risk of soft tissue injuries, such as cuts and bruises to the lips, tongue, and cheeks, which can occur during sports collisions or falls.

3

Concussion Prevention

Recent studies suggest that properly fitted mouthguards may help reduce the risk of concussions by absorbing and distributing impact forces during a blow to the jaw.

Why Choose a Sports Mouthguard?

Participating in sports and physical activities carries inherent risks, including the potential for oral injuries. A sports mouthguard is a vital piece of protective gear designed to reduce the risk of dental trauma during impact or collision. Whether you’re involved in high-contact sports like football and hockey or recreational activities such as biking and skateboarding, wearing a mouthguard can significantly lower the chances of sustaining injuries to the teeth, lips, and surrounding soft tissues.

I’m on a cross country road trip across the entire USA. Had an issue with a couple of crowns that came off while I’m 2500 miles from home. A good friend that lives in the area is a patient with North River Dental. I called and explained the situation to Shannon and she was able to get me an appointment for a repair and treatment plan with no significant delays in our travels. Thank you, thank you, thank you to “NRD” and team that helped me in a difficult situation indeed.

This is a wonderful practice; I came here years ago and have just returned. The personable team members work together seamlessly and cheerfully with an ability to swap roles to different extents in order to efficiently support changing needs throughout the day. The technology leveraged is amazing – in very little time you can see complete images of your upper and lower jaw, teeth, bone and forecast for end results of select services. They provide orthodontic care and and multiple aesthetic services. PLUS! One of my favorite features is they still use rooms, rather than having multiple patients and services going on in an open area (as far as I saw). I really appreciate the enhanced privacy and welcoming decor.

When we first moved to Florida in 2004 a friend told me to go to North River Dental. I have had a very good experience. I’m still under there care. I had bleeding gums at times. The dentist told me what to rinse my mouth with each night. I also use there toothpaste. My gums have gotten better. I have had a tooth pulled and an implant done and everything went smooth. They make you feel you like going to the dentist. I recommend them highly.

Moved to Parrish 6 years ago & wondered if I’d ever find a professional dentist that’s as good as the one I had in Connecticut. Well, lucky for me, my wife found North River Dental, and they’re outstanding from their doctors to their staff. Very professional, very thorough, very nice.
